I am using 2 of your themes (GreenNight & Majestic), both are fluids and great themes. But all themes in this thread are according to 1024W resolution. Fluids are tough to make, but they are worth I feel. And both the themes I use have been making good utilization of screen area.

Wanted to ask whether fluid or fixed width themes are to be chosen?
Can above themes be converted to fluid with little or no efforts?

Actuallly, fluid themes are a lot easier to make because the default theme is fluid. I can easily make a fluid theme by working off of that.

As for which is better, it just depends. You have more control over where things are placed in a fixed width and they can be used on multiple resolutions without breaking. Fluid widths are good for higher resolutions but can seem too wide if the resolution is too high. It really just depends on what you want.

The fluid widths (GreenNight & Majestic) can be converted to fixed but Novus can't. A normal fixed width can be converted but, since Novus used a fixed background, it can't be converted.

Thanks. I wanted this theme to be original, timeless, and, as you say it, 'cool'.

Okay, I did an update so the themes in the mods site should be down for a bit. I'll let you know when they're up.

Anyway, this update includes:
New spinner loading image
Fixes in rounded corners
Avatar "image broken overlay" fixed
And soon a new editor toolbar to match the icons

Hi computergeek67,

I think I found a bug with the theme.

I have had multiple people contact me to let me know that they cannot register with my forum, when they try, the forum keeps telling them that the passwords they enter do not match.

Turns out all these users were running Internet Explorer 7.

I have Internet Explorer 7 on my work laptop, so I was able to test, and was able to replicate the problem they are having.

Basically with Internet Explorer 7, users always get the following, even when the passwords perfectly match:



Once you switch back to the default theme, the problem goes away

I'll get right on it.

For that bug, all you need to do is in Header Templates > header_welcomeblock_guest, change the labels for 'username' to uname' and 'password' to 'pword'. Do that with the names of the inputs as well. It should read:

Code:

<label class="hidden" for="uname">Username</label>
<input type="text" name="uname" value="{$lang->login_username}" class="loginusername" onfocus="if(this.value == '{$lang->login_username}') { this.value=''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value='{$lang->login_username}'; }"/>
<br />
<label class="hidden" for="pword">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="pword" value="{$lang->login_password}" class="loginpassword" onfocus="if(this.value == '{$lang->login_password}') { this.value=''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value='{$lang->login_password}'; }"/>

I'll update the themes.

Edit: They're fixed.

Awesome design, computergeek

Thanks for releasing it for Free. This is something to compare to Justin S. artwork on Afresh

Yep. In my opinion, quality work shouldn't always be paid.

Oh, no! The register fix I uploaded broke the login. I'll see what's wrong.

Edit: I've got the fix so I'll update it now. On a side note, I want to thank the MyBB team for putting up with all these updates. There have been a lot of them and it can be annoying sometimes to approve the same nine themes almost every day.

Is it a quick fix? Can you post it?

Seems like the review Process is taking ages

[Ferron]

The review process takes about a day but you can download the whole package from the first post and choose the theme that you want.
